Cloudbet Review 2026: Crypto-Only Betting Since 2013

Cloudbet has operated since 2013, one of the earliest crypto betting platforms, under Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., a Curaçao-registered company. It combines a sportsbook covering esports with a broad casino catalogue. It’s a solid fit for players already holding crypto who want sports and casino coverage in one place; it’s a poor fit for anyone who wants a fiat on-ramp or phone support, neither of which Cloudbet offers.

The Welcome Bonus

Cloudbet’s welcome package isn’t a one-time deposit match — it’s a 30-day accumulation mechanic. New players can earn up to $2,500 in cash rewards during their first 30 days via 10% rakeback on every bet plus daily cash drops tied to activity, with the funds building up in a Cash Vault that unlocks at the end of the period. No promo code is required; it activates on the first deposit. The exact wagering figure for the released funds isn’t published on the offer page itself, so treat $2,500 as a ceiling rather than a guarantee.

Payments & Withdrawals

Cloudbet is crypto-only, but broadly so: more than 30 coins including BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, DOGE, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOT, LTC, BCH, BNB, LINK and DAI. There’s no direct fiat or card deposit — anyone funding with fiat needs to buy crypto through a third-party on-ramp first. Withdrawals go through an internal review of roughly 0-24 hours, then a blockchain confirmation window of about 1-60 minutes depending on the coin and network.

Games & Mobile

The catalogue covers a wide casino game library alongside full sportsbook coverage, including esports. There’s no native iOS or Android app — Cloudbet explicitly states it has no mobile app and warns that any lookalike app or APK circulating outside its own site is unofficial and unsafe to use.

Reputation: what players say

Trustpilot shows a 3.6/5 TrustScore from more than 2,500 reviews: roughly 69% five-star, but a notable 21% one-star cluster centered on account restrictions and withdrawal or verification disputes. The most telling gap is on AskGamblers, where the player score is a strong 8.6/10 (108 reviews) but the site’s own editorial CasinoRank score is only 3.9/10, reflecting documented complaints about extended “betting integrity” account reviews and fund freezes. Casino.Guru, by contrast, gives Cloudbet a Very High 9.2/10 Safety Index with no relevant unresolved complaints logged. LCB.org members rate it lower still, 2.8/5 from 62 votes, citing no telephone support and a broad account-closure clause.

Licence

Cloudbet holds a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence, number OGL/2024/328/0599, issued to Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. (registration number 148526) — a real, checkable licence at Curaçao tier, not a top regulator like the UKGC or MGA. Cloudbet also carries a long list of restricted jurisdictions, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Australia.

Who it’s for

Cloudbet works well for crypto-native players who want sports, esports, and casino games under one roof and don’t need a fiat on-ramp or telephone support. The gap between its strong player scores and weak editorial/LCB scores is worth noting before depositing large amounts — the “betting integrity” review complaints suggest bigger accounts can draw extra scrutiny at withdrawal time.
